Jo woke that morning to the sound of something crashing in the kitchen and a burning smell tickling the back of her nose.

Images moved through her mind, of Dallin above her, hot and possessive and dominant yet oddly thoughtful, sweet, careful…

It wasn’t a dream. They’d made love.

The smoky smell reminded her that something wasn’t quite right, so she hurried to get up and change into a long T-shirt to go out and check.

Jo stepped into the kitchen, shocked to see Dallin waving his big hands wildly, attempting to disperse smoke rising from a pan he had on the stove.

Watching the huge male, with his ridiculous muscles and stoic demeanor, wearing an apron that barely fit him while he swatted at the air made her instantly smile.

She came up alongside him and hit the button for the range hood, and the suction immediately started to clear the air a little bit.

“Ah, you’re awake,” Dallin said, surprised, looking a bit panicked. In the pan, she could see several charred eggs and, nearby on the counter, two plates with toast (one pair blackened, another normal) with two cups of juice.

“Were you making us breakfast?” she asked, one hand on his back already as if touching him would confirm everything was still all real.

The slight soreness in her body certainly affirmed it.

As well as the heat that began to rise when they were close.

“Of course I was. I was up early anyway, and you’re always cooking for us, so I figured it couldn’t be too hard to make something simple.” He frowned. “I think I was wrong.”

Jo giggled, and Dallin looked down at her with surprise, a little frustration creasing the corners of his eyes.

“It’s not funny. After all, I said I was a dragon protector, not a dragon chef.” His frown deepened before he folded his arms and turned away with a huff.

But dang, did he look cute in an apron.

“Here, want me to show you a few tips and tricks?” She pulled the blackened mess off the heat and got another pan from the drawer. Dallin glanced over his shoulder, watching curiously as she poured a little oil in and got a few extra ingredients from the kitchen.

“It’s hopeless,” he muttered. “I’d reduce whatever heaven you’re concocting into a burning wreck.” But still, he seemed to be watching, taking notes mentally if nothing else.

“Come on. Let’s cook together. I could definitely use the help of a dragon protector, and I know you wanted to make breakfast, so win-win, right?” She set more eggs, along with cheese and butter, on the counter, watching his eyebrow rise.

A smile quirked his lips, and he nodded. “All right, then. Show me your secrets, culinary wizard.”

“Not a wizard,” she said, grinning. “Just a baker.”

“Well, magical nonetheless.” To her surprise, he came up behind her, gently leaning down to kiss her neck softly. “How are you feeling?”

If you’d told her that the guy who had shown up on her porch that first day would turn out to be so caring, she would have said you were crazy.
